I'm aware that netbsd for the Sun-3 machines exists already, but is there
a version for the Sun-3x machines? Why I ask is that I have 2 Sun-3x's
here at the moment (a working 3/80 and a soon-to-be-working-I-hope 3/480),
with another 3/80 coming. I want to run SunOS on the beast (ie. the 3/480)
and one of the 3/80's and netbsd on the second 3/80.
I'm intending to make the second 3/80 into a very portable unit (I'll be
putting the board into a PC mini-tower and running it plus a couple of
hard drives off the one power supply) and I'd like to have netbsd instead
of SunOS on it because SunOS as it stands is piss-poor with networking
support and is far too cumbersome for a slow machine like a 3/80.
If someone can give me some details about Sun-3x netbsd please I'll know
where I stand.
Thanks in advance,
Craig.
